Science 9

This course has been designed with competency-based assessment with a focus on enhancing students’ cognitive abilities and scientific skills based on Ministry of Education standards. These skills will be evaluated throughout a journey into studies of reproductive cell biology, relationships between elements and compounds, basic circuitry, and sustainability of Earth’s geological systems. Assessment will be informed by evidence gathered from a variety of avenues including group discussions, presentations, labs, and written assessments, in individual and group contexts. Formal reporting of summative assessments is communicated on the following three learning standards: analytical thinking, designing and conducting research, and communicating meaning.
